Embellish Magazine--Color Challenge

Some of you may already know that PURPLE is my new favourite colour--fell in love with it this summer when I found that dress I'm wearing in my family photo in the sidebar --> . . . so, I was excited to find Embellish Magazine's new colour challenge, which includes purple, chocolate and kraft. 


      I also finally got my hands on some Bazzill kraft cardstock
 (my local store had been sold out for a while), so I jumped on this challenge and actually made 2 cards!!
     The challenge also requires us to use stripes on our creation--that stumped me for a while, until I remembered to dig out some patterned vellum I've had for years (no clue where I got it either it's been that long!!). So, my stripes are on the card, but they're not a primary feature.

Here are the two cards--not sure which one I like most?!


I also finally invested in some Versamark Ink--how did I ever live without it??  I think it's my new favourite product--you'll be seeing it a lot in my future creations ;)  Here's a close up of both cards with supply lists . . .

  6. My favorite part about these cards are your stitching! Love that it isn't the focus but it is there, peeking through, saying Look at Me! Of course the cards are both gorgeous too!
